EU Parliament rejects controversial driving license reform: “Green control fantasies cannot find a majority”. Anyone who wants to extend their driving license should take a mandatory health test in the future.
But this driving ability test is off the table. Instead, individual member states should continue to decide on mandatory health tests for drivers. This means that EU countries have the choice of whether to require driving license holders to undergo medical hearing and vision tests. This is already the case in 14 countries, such as Belgium, Portugal and Italy.
